I bought this album as a teenager in the 70's and never felt it was one of zeps greatest albums compared to Physical Graffiti and vol4 so unfortunately it was the last of the remasters that I bought. Having listened to it a couple of times it has quickly become one of my favourates. Its understated beauty really hit me and touched me particularly "tangerine" and the really beautiful "thats the way". Pity the packaging doesnt reflect the curiosity of the original LP cover. Buy it and enjoy!

I really enjoyed this CD, specially INTERMEZZO NO.1. If you are an Abba fan - this product will not disappoint you. The inside booklet also a great souvernir. No disappointments at all.

'Arthur' was originally conceived as a musical television drama, but when the drama never materialised, Ray Davies went ahead and released the music in the form of a concept album. The basic story relates to Ray's brother-in-law Arthur who emigrated to Australia some years previously.
Generally, the music here has a much more 'modern' feel than previous Kinks albums, mainly due to its very rich production and the typical Kinks sound augumented by horns. In many ways 'Arthur' is much more suited to the ideals normally associated with concept albums than 'The Village Green Preservation Society' because it does seem to be much grander in scope.
The songs are generally strong despite the fact that 'Victoria', 'Shangrila' and 'Australia' tend to stand ... Read More:

First off I'd like to point out that FTATR would be a five star review if it was compared only to the majority of the dross presently pumped out. The problem is that it can only be compared to Back in Black given that they were produced so close together and have in many ways a similar sound. And there is the slight problem - Back in Black is a "once in a lifetime" album and as I can only give five stars then FTATR must have less. It's still a great record though and it along with Flick of the Switch and Fly on the Wall make up the best period of records that AC/DC pumped out with Brian Johnson after BiB. There is on this record of course a couple of classics - For Those About to Rock and Lets Get It Up can bear comparison to anything on Black in Black easily. The rest ... Read More:

Constructive criticism is one thing, but some of the scathing reviews I have read on here are nothing short of pathetic.

Quite what the hell people expect from Oasis in this day and age is beyond me. After years of relative underachievement, 'DBTT' should be celebrated not berated.

Between the release of 'Supersonic' in 1994 and the enormity of Knebworth in 1996, Oasis were untouchable. Two classic albums, nine fantastic singles (with phenomenal b-sides often topping them), a clutch of era-defining gigs... they weren't a band, they were living legends, and like many teenagers back then, Oasis meant the world to me.

But 'Be Here Now', for all its inspired moments (DYKWIM?, Fade In/Out, Don't Go Away) arguably pushed the formula too far, ... Read More:

The Masterplan is a B-Sides compilation full of great songs.There is an argument,in fact, for saying this is one of the very best Oasis albums. Certainly one of the most consistent. I think it's fair to say that it's time for another one-containing D'Yer Wanna Be A Spaceman,Round Are Way,Carry Us All,Cigarettes In Hell,Let's All Make Believe,etc...

The title track has never been one of my favourite Abba songs and so that doesn't start this one on a solid footing, although there is no doubt that Abba are the best thing ever to come out of the Eurovision Song Contest apart from Secret Garden.

This has a similar feel to the first album, although the real hints of pop music writing genius are becoming evident in "Hasta Manana" one of their most endearing songs and a blueprint for so many pop songs that were to follow and "Dance (While the Music Still Goes On)". Sadly songs like "Sitting in the Palm Tree" and "King Kong Song" are dreadful and the kind of thing you would expect from trashy party groups like Black Lace. It's a tough call as to whether this is an improvement on Ring Ring. Perhaps it is a little more slick.

Blackout is the album of 2007!,all 12 tracks have their strong points and it is pop/tech/dance perfection.
Britney has now started a major comeback,and although Madge has produced a great album this year(Hard Candy)...Blackout beats it to the chase.
already selling over 10 million copies worldwide...the comeback is now!
tracks-

G!mMe MorE-5/5-a fantastic lead single for the album and was a major sucess worldwide..congrats to her.

Piece Of M£-5/5-Perfection from Spears,a true to heart song, and a fantastic second single reaching #1 in many countries.

Radar-5/5-unfortunately not released as her 4th single from the album due to her working on her following album Circus(released in 2 months time,...and i can't wait)it's very dark and gritty ... Read More:

As I read the reviews from not only this wonderful CD but Eva's other ones I am struck by how unanimous the praise is for her. And then I look at the date of the reviews and I begin to worry and wonder. There does not seem to be any from the last five years. Right beside the reviews is an ad wondering what is wrong with young people who think Man Ray was a poisonous fish when he was an artist. Personally I think if Man Ray had thought about it he might have wanted to be Manta Ray as well. But I digress. Just as we are losing our capacity to recognize an artist who was working seventy years ago we are losing our ability to reach out to a recording artist who has been dead for only twelve years.
Surely there are younger listeners who are more concerned with quality and clarity of sound and ... Read More:

190.All Angels by: All Angels

`All Angels', released in November 2006 is the first of a five album deal which the group signed with the Universal Classics and Jazz label. The album reached number 9 in the UK Music charts, was nominated for `Album of the Year' at the Classical BRIT Awards in 2007 (beaten by Sir Paul McCartney's `Ecce Cor Meum') and eventually won a platinum disc.

Of the 13 tracks on this album around half are classical/opera, the rest are contemporary and traditional. The classics are familiar ones, which will appeal to those who have little experience of classical music, and the contemporary choices are unexpected ones such as the Robbie Williams hit `Angels', which sounds lovely when given the `Angels treatment'. The traditionals are the Christmas carol `Silent Night', and the New Zealand ... Read More:
